Schools for Pickpockets.

The ex-chief of the Partisan detective
force, M. Mace, gives some curious notes
about technical schools for pickpockets,
where apprentice thieves are initiated
into all the mysteries of the art, and sub
mitted to theoretical and practical exam
nations on a lay figure. This lay figure,
dressed Ikea man, but covered with gre
lots or little bells, is suspended from the
ceiling by a wire, so that the slightest
movement will set the bells tinkling. The
apprentice is considered fit to operate
professionally in a crowd when he can
steal purse or portfolio from the epock-
cts of the lay figure without causing the
bells to ring. The stiffest examination
to pass is to undo button of the lay fig
ure's waistcoat, slip out the chain, and
lift the watch. NJ. Mace believes in the
existence of international associations of
pickpockets, and, curiously enough, he
does not consider the English pickpocket
TO be the cleverest. The English pick.
pocket is dexterous with his hands, but
his movements are stiff and formal. He
is great walker, and tires out the police
who are told off to watch him. He is
very prudent, not easily tempted, never
stays more than ten minutes in the same
crowd, and rarely makes more than one
victim in the same spot, except on race
course. At the races the English pick
pockets work in bands, and the man who
steals pocketbook or purse never keeps
it, but passes it on through a series of ac.
completes. These pickpockets have in
dicators, resident at Paris, who select
victims for their compatriots to rob. The
weighing paddock at the races is the ia.

John w. Sequence, who came here
a few weeks ago from Hillside, Lin
coin county, died at cabin back of
the livery stable between l and 9
o'clock last Thursday morning. He
had been drinking very hard since he
came here, and that with his advanced
age-72 years-was too much for the
feeble old man aud he could not rally
from its effects. He had served 10
years in the United States army and
held an honorable discharge. He told
some parties here he was expecting
his wife from Germany, whom he had
not seen for % years. A Coroner's
inquest was held on the body and the
verdict of the jury was that he came
to his death from natural exhaustion.
He was native of Germany, and was
but little known here. His remains
were laid to rest Thursday afternoon.

A Lesson From Nature.

The last earthquake should have
opened the eyes of the people of this
State. Ia scores of places water has
burst out OF the earthquake assures
and begun to naturally irrigatc the
land In the Como range water is
pouring out of hill two hundred feet
above the plain. In Humboldt county
scores of springs have been rocked in
to life by the sway of the earthquake.
Hundreds of springs in Nevada have
doubled in flow. All this means that
a vast water bed underlies the gcolog-
ical formation of this State. By tun.
nelling the mountain and sinking
artesian wells the water can be found
and utilized. The wealthy men of
Nevada ought to combine and sink a
5000 foot well as an experiment. The
chances are that they would find inn
mense quantities of water before they
reached 1000 feet Carson Appeal.

The Editor,s Critic.

He stands in the stores with his
back to the stove and tells how he
could be as independent as a hog ON
ice, and call things by their right
names; how he could expose corrup-
tiop in high places; how he could
write good common sense. and none of
your frivolous, try to be-funny stuff.
Then he criticises other peoples meth
od of conducting newspapers, ard just
wishes some one would give him a
chance to show his journalistic ability.
The way to cure one of these chaps is
to get him to agree to write a sensible
article every day for week. Before
the week is out he is sure to be pump
ed dry. and will gap worse for an idea
than chicken does with the pip.
